The phrase which defines “pretensions” best is claims of importance.
<em>Pretensions</em> refer to the form of more serious or of being more important than the actual reason. Also, pretensions may refer to a belief or claim that you have serious value and are important.
<u>For example:</u>
It sounds pretentious that the current government will work for the people after the next elections.
Can you please look at my question? I'm in a test and I need an answer fast.
I think the answer is "Having seen the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon is more impressive." The Grand Canyon has not seen the Statue of Liberty; you have, but you- or "I" - are nowhere in the sentence. To correct the sentence, it would need to read something like this: Having seen the Statue of Liberty, I find the Grand Canyon more impressive.
